The Evolution Of The iPhone [INFOGRAPHIC]

If you place the original iPhone and the recently released iPhone 4S side by side, you may notice some significant differences. The new device porting a virtual assistant has come along way since it’s silverback predecessor.

The original iPhone included some of the standard apps you may find in your homescreen today, but that’s all. Third party apps were not available and would not be for a while. The drawback didn’t hinder sales; 700,000 iPhones were sold during the first weekend.

With each hardware and software upgrade, the device became more and more popular. The journey between the two phones, approximately four years apart, has been placed in a retro style Infographic found below. Designed by a Dutch website, the chart shows how much progress Apple has made both cosmetically and in hardware. The software the product lineup runs is also documented.
